StencilGirl Meets Colourcraft


Here we are at Day 2 of the StencilGirl and Colourcraft Blog Hop.


I had so much fun playing with these products!


I opted for the Brusho Cool Colour Pack with  Brusho Thickener
as well as Prussian Blue, Ultramarine, Turquoise,
 Leaf Green and Sea Green.
WOW!


After experimenting on paper and in journals I thought
I would try the Brusho's on canvas paper to see if I could sew something.
I started with layers and layers of the different 
Brusho blues and greens through various stencils... 
in my eagerness to try sewing it, I used art crayons for a quick final layer.


It turns out you CAN sew zippers into canvas paper!
Hmmmm...That opens up a lot of possibilities!



I made a simple bag with my first experimental canvas paper.



Then I played with a few other canvas papers and stencils and Brusho paints.
Layers and Layers and Layers of Fun!


Another Colourcraft Product I received to play with was this 
Aztec Metallics Craft Paint in Antique Gold.


The gold paint showed up so beautifully on these canvas papers
and on top of the Brusho paint layers.




Stencils I used in these projects were:


I quickly spray painted stencils on the back sides of the canvas paper
so it would add some interest when opening these zippered bags. 



There you go! I love these finished bags.

    So pretty! Do you have to add a layer of something to protect the Brushos from running? I would be afraid to get the bag wet. Amanda (at) meadowdance (dot) org
